Trivia / Star Trek Voyager S 6 E 22 Muse

• Deleted Role: A female member of Kelis' species who portrayed a Klingon acted in the ancient Greek theater. This character was played by Carissa Hernandez and her dialogue and scenes were removed from the episode.
• Reality Subtext: The episode is basically a plea for understanding from the writers of this oft-criticized series, explaining how they're pulled between the desire to create meaningful works of art, the need to satisfy those paying their wages, and the demands of the audience for more "action" and "romance", told via a dirt-poor playwright on a primitive warlike world who's trying to write a play based on Voyager's logs. The "executives" (or nobles) in question will have the playwright's head if he doesn't deliver.
• You Look Familiar:
  • Kellie Waymire (Lanya) will return as Crewman Cutler on Star Trek: Enterprise.
  • John Schuck (playing an unnamed chorus member) has an extensive resume in the franchise, including the Klingon Ambassador in two movies, as well as roles in Enterprise and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
  • Tony Amendola (unnamed chorus member) is well known as the Jaffa Master Bra'tac from that other major Sci-Fi franchise Stargate SG-1.
